“War movies: One of the core genres of the cinema. From the earliest days of the form, filmmakers have been trying to capture and comment on war. Do these films accurately represent the battles they depict? And are they more useful as depictions of history, or as artifacts from the eras in which they were made? Do enough of them have Brian Dennehy? Join Adam Pranica (network page), Ben Harrison, and John Roderick for Friendly Fire, the war movie podcast that answers all these questions and more!”

Further information

The next movie to watch is chosen by John picking a random number at the end of each episode. That way they are getting a good mix of very well known films and smaller pictures, even in foreign languages. The first 18-20 episodes were prerecorded before the preview was released on December 20th 2017. From episode 15 on (plus episode 10), they started to review the movie on a scale of 1-5 "things". The podcast itself is rated by Adam and Ben at 5 bathtubs, which is the location that John records from each and every time. John only gives it 4,5 bath tubs because it is a show by three white guys talking about war movies.
